im fitting my BR racing coilovers and h & r lowering springs, what are peoples experience of the optimum setup in terms of ride height and camber for road use.
Lowering and camber advice

Which spring weights did you go for?
I had mine corner weighted and aligned at an MX5 specialist with racing experience.
He wanted to get 1,5-2 degrees camber on the front but could only get 1 degree in both sides for some reason (something about how much adjustment there was available). It feels great with a bit of camber on.
@Lee had my car set up pretty well from his garage floor so was only a little bit of adjustment was needed to get it to what I wanted (my brief was low as practically possible without grounding/rubbing and set for enjoyable road driving):
The specs on mine are now:
Weight of driver: 75kg (the actual drivers a bit heavier now..!)
1/4 tank fuel.
LF 335kg RF371kg
LR 338kg RR364kg
Cross weight 50,3%
Total weight 1406kg
Ride height
LF 5"9/16 RF 5"8/16 (from front ARB)
LR 7"7/16 RR 7"3/8 (from rear beam)
Camber -1 degree both sides (front)
Front toe: 0,5mm toe in
